A Season of Change
This year has brought many changes and I am grateful to be back in my studio painting again.
I have completed many new paintings and look forward to having people up to view them and stay for a visit.
Artists naturally social distance so it is a pleasure when we can invite friends and family in to see what we have been up to.
If you are interested in a private showing or small group, please email or call to set up a time that is convenient. We adhere to the social distancing guidelines and provide masks.
I look forward to seeing you !

~ on children ~
In every child who is born,
under no matter what circumstances, and no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again.
― James Agee
When I approach a child,
he inspires in me two sentiments;
tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.
L'abbé Étienne Blanchard, "Recueil d'idées”
(translated from the French)
[often misattributed to Louis Pasteur]
"You don't treat me like a child."
He smiled. "Of course I do, but you seem to have this ridiculous notion that being treated like a child means to be treated with less respect than an adult."
– Derek Landy, The Faceless Ones
contemporary author of children's books
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these she said is roots, the other, wings.
– Hodding Carter,
"Where Main Street Meets the River"
(attributing the thought to an anonymous
"wise woman")
artist’s statement
This posting is the third of three
charcoals showing individual triplets,
at the age of four, at moments
of preternatural solemnity.
This charcoal shows the other of the two
boys of the triplets,
but by happenstance shows only the left
side of his face.
The full portrait is of a cousin. Both children appear solemn;
the cousin’s gaze is less guarded.
